Addresses the field of biological database curation and annotation. This book provides an overview of the status of database annotation and discusses what is required for future progress, both in terms of the skill set required and training requirements for new entrants to the field.

Focusing on genetic algorithms and protein structure, this book explains various methods in terms of their reliability, limitations and user friendliness.

How do we identify the genes that make up our genome? And how do different genes form the regulatory networks that direct the process of life? This book provides an insight into what can be revealed from the study of genomes: how organisms differ or match; how different organisms evolved; how a genome is constructed and how it operates; and more.

An Introduction to Bioinformatics introduces students to the immense power of bioinformatics as a set of scientific tools. The ideal text for those new to the subject, it focuses on how bioinformatics tools can be applied, and what they can tell us about biological systems, without requiring detailed prior knowledge.

Useful for students on biosciences degrees, this book provides an introduction to the study of proteins. It contains the aspects related to genomics and proteomics that have paved the way for an explosion of interest in protein structure and function.

Based on the author's successful book on the principles of protein structure, this book explains the general characteristics of proteins that underlie a great variety of protein folding patterns observed in nature. It is illustrated with computer graphics, which give three-dimensional representations of protein structure.

Introduction to Protein Science provides a broad introduction to the contemporary study of proteins in health and disease, suitable for students on biological, biochemical, and biomedical degrees internationally. The book relates the study of proteins to the context of modern high-throughput data streams of genomics and proteomics.
